small butterfly, one distinct large eyespot, 6 smaller eyespots. The butterflies are instantly recognisable as a group, all being marked with fine striations on the underside, and possessing a submarginal series of yellow-ringed black ocelli.
forested plateau, about 1000m
Spotted amongst pine needles in Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park. Was very difficult to photograph.
I've figured it out. I was a little suspicious on the ID and now I believe I've found the correct one.
That link is interesting. Thanks for the ID Maria I'm pretty it is the common four ring but mine seems to have 7 eyespots where most I see online have only 5. I'm wondering if that is part of the variations the author talks about in the link you provided. What do you think Scott?
